"I looked over and noticed light was being refracted through a water bottle and starting to catch the seat on fire," said Dioni in a video posted to Idaho Power's Facebook page.

"It uses the liquid and the clear material to develop a focused beam and sure enough, it can actually cause a fire, a combustion.
